Smurfs High Five

#NewComicsDay and it is a DC dominated shelf along with Smurs #Top5. It’s history in the making for sure but don’t over look Hulk, Sea of Stars, and Savage Avengers also hitting this week that have been a joy to read. All of this and more can be yours at All C’s Collectibles with a discount by mentioning you saw this.

Smurfs Take> I never thought this day would come. I remember the day when the first issue hit the shelves under the ground breaking publisher’s banner. The impact this book made can never be ignored and the milestone it reaches today. Sure Todd will always be attached to Spider-Man 300 and the grail status that book has reached but what will history decide for this title. I am curious to see where the character and story have gone since last I visited back at issue 100.

Batman vs. Ras Al Ghul #1> Gotham City is under siege by terrorists, and Batman is determined to find the source. But when Boston Brand tries to intervene, he discovers an even more disturbing and deadly truth: the terrorists are led by an inhuman monster. Ra’s al Ghul has volunteered his own private security force to aid the GCPD, and now they are the only thing standing between nuclear terror and the townspeople! But al Ghul’s true goal is hidden from everyone’s eyes. He will destroy the city and kill Batman-this time for good. Watching in horror is… Bruce Wayne? (S) Neal Adams (A/CA) Neal Adams

Smurfs Take> This is fantastic and I can’t wait to read it! This looks and has the feel of the older Detective Comics when Neal took over the title.

Web Of Black Widow #1> BLACK WIDOW: YEAR ONE!
One of Marvel Comics’ longest-running female heroes finally gets her due! Natasha Romanoff is the deadliest spy in the Marvel Universe and the beating heart of the Avengers. But when a mysterious figure starts exploiting her past, the Widow may have to go back to Black – and off the grid. Who can she trust in this web of deceit? And more importantly – can her friends trust her? Don’t miss the spy tale of the century! (S) Jody Houser (A) Stephen Mooney (CA) Jung-Geun Yoon

Doomsday Clock #11> The critically acclaimed series by the renowned team of writer Geoff Johns and artist Gary Frank marches toward its conclusion. In this penultimate issue, the truth behind “Rebirth” is revealed as Batman searches for the one person he believes can help him save the world…Rorschach! (S) Geoff Johns (A/CA) Gary Frank

Smurfs Take> This has been an absolute joy! The story, the art, the massive scope of it all and DCs skill at telling a story, building off its own history and characters is spectacular. No spoilers but this one you don’t want to be missing out on when it all comes to a close.

Justice League #31> “The Justice Doom War” part two! The culmination of Lex Luthor’s plan hinges on his beating the Justice League to the prize, ratcheting up the peril as the Year of the Villain continues! The Totality has shattered and its pieces have been tossed across space and time. Thus, the Justice League must also split apart, forming three search teams to comb the past, present, and future to re-combine the Totality before the Legion of Doom can get its villainous hands on the cosmic weapon. What allies will our heroes find in these other timelines? In the future, it’s the Last Boy on Earth, Kamandi! But in the past, there are the familiar faces of the Justice Society of America!

Smurfs Take> Well year of the villain hasn’t disappointed yet and I think it’s about to get a whole lot grittier. It reminds me of an old episode of Super Friends but waaaay better.

Dark Knights Metal Batman the Devastator Statue> Rocking into our world from the pages of DARK NIGHTS: METAL comes a nightmarish fusion of the only two beings capable of taking on the Man of Steel-Doomsday and Batman. Meticulously crafted in polyresin, this statue captures the imposing essence of the Devastator-an all-powerful creature in which the unstoppable might of Doomsday fuses with the unmatched brains of Batman. With a skin of cragged bone and red eyes of unspeakable evil, this statue is a great addition to the collections of fans of Doomsday, Batman and METAL.
• Limited to 5,000 pieces and individually numbered
• Statue measures approximately 9.1″ tall
• Allocations may occur

Smurfs Take> I know I haven’t posted up a statue for some time now but there was no way I could resist with this one. It’s so massive and awesome and I really enjoyed the story this is pulled from. Every time I look at it I can’t help but smile, it’s terrific.
